FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
Pesticides on fruits and vegetables consumed by pregnant mothers can cause high levels of chemical exposure to their unborn children! Simply avoiding this exposure to the extent possible gives the next generation a "health" start in life. We want to support the next generation of our community in the best way we can.
WHAT IS A CSA?
It's people like you, investing in local farms like us. At the start of the year, you subscribe for a weekly share of the abundant harvest: veggies and fruits straight from our farm and pay up front. During the 24-week season, you come to the farm market each week and choose what produce your family needs, meet farmers and neighbors, and support your local community. Learn more here.
ARE ALL PREGNANT WOMEN ELIGIBLE?
Our focus is on our local community so pregnant women who reside in the following zip codes are eligible:
97140
97070
97062
DO I HAVE TO PROVE I'm PREGNANT?
Nope, we trust you!
IS THERE ANY INCOME OR MEANS TESTING?
Nope, we figure everyone in the community should benefit equally and that all kids, regardless of background, should get an equal start in life.
Having said that, and since this program is entirely funded by community donations, we ask that if you can afford to pay the full (or partial) price of a CSA share, that you please let us know. Alternatively, pay it forward by making a tax-deductible donation to support those less fortunate than you...
HOW MANY FAMILIES WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SUPPORT?
That depends entirely on how much money we can raise from community donations and how much capacity we have on the farm to produce CSA shares! The program is first-come-first served so early birds get the worm and all that (i.e. early sign ups get the veggies).
ARE DONATIONS TAX DEDUCTIBLE?
Yes! Donations are made to Our Table's sister non-profit, The Manav Foundation which is a registered 501(C)(3) private operating foundation, and are tax deductible to the extent of the law.
